M. R. JAMES 'S A Warning to the Curious adapted by LAWRENCE GORDON CLARK starring Peter Vaughan and Clive Swift
A man comes to a Norfolk seaside town in winter. He is looking for an ancient crown he thinks is buried nearby. A local legend foretells disasters if anyone moves the crown. Indeed, some years before a visiting archaeologist was killed but no murderer was found. No one knows where the crown is buried, or if they do they won'say. The searcher persists and succeeds -but he finds a great deal more than the crown.
